MY ALTERCATION: The Bandung Melodic Punk Scene 1995 – 2008, written by Prabu Pramayougha from the Indonesian punk rock band Saturday Night Karaoke, which will be published through Earth Island Books from the UK.
My Altercation weaves together notes and memories to capture the essence of Bandung’s music scene with a particular focus on the melodic punk genre.
